Anti-Corrosive Potential of the Sustainable Corrosion Inhibitors Based on Biomass Waste: A Review on Preceding and Perspective Research

Abstract

Over the past decade, green chemistry has been emphasizing the importance of environmental sustainability and human health, aiming to minimize toxins and reducing wastes in an economically beneficial manner. The field of metallic materials deterioration, generally faced by the utilization of toxic compounds, discovered a promising research field in green chemistry. The application of inhibitors is a well-known strategy when metal corrosion needs to be avoided, prevented, controlled or mitigate. Green inhibitors are readily available, biodegradable, ecologically acceptable, sustainable and renewable sources. Their esteem broadens the numerous ranges of potential applications in various sectors besides “waste to energy” in the context of a circular economy. Extensive research on various biomass wastes such as corn stalks, nutshells, straw, forestry residue and plant waste-derived inhibitors tremendously has been utilized in corrosion mitigation in different industries to sustain the environment. All the mentioned aspects are the topic of this current review, which is meant as constructive criticism to spotlight the use of biomass waste as efficient green inhibitors in order to re-evaluate their viability and debate prospective research in the field, which is still lacking justification. As a result, this article aims to solve two current problems; waste and corrosion which will benefit both the environment and industry.

WITHDRAWN: The ability of Lupine plant extract to adhere to copper surfaces in sulphamic acid and prevent corrosion

“…However, their widespread use is limited due to concerns about their toxicity. Furthermore, the ongoing study aims to develop a sustainable solution for preventing corrosion that is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, while also ensuring utmost safety and achieving optimal inhibition performance [10]. It is feasible to create corrosion inhibitors using botanical extracts because of their non-hazardous characteristics, abundance, and easy accessibility [11].…”

Principles and theories of green chemistry for corrosion science and engineering: design and application

“…(i) Environmental sustainability: The minimal negative effects on the environment are the core of green corrosion inhibition. [644][645][646] In line with the sustainability tenets, materials made from renewable resources or biodegradable should be used. These materials support a healthy ecosystem by lowering the production of toxic waste.…”

The Multifaceted Perspective on the Role of Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles in Promoting a Sustainable Green Economy

“…Environmentally friendly and economical methods are frequently used in the application of these nanomaterials, which reduces the ecological impact of corrosion prevention and conserves resources. The approach of its application is presented in Figure 4 [48][49][50].…”
